“Steve Doherty’s Operation King Cobra is a World War II thriller in the vein of Where Eagles Dare and The Guns of Navarone. Action, history, espionage, romance—it’s all there,” says military novelist Robert Gandt, who has published more than a dozen books on aviation and military adventure fiction. Operation King Cobra is based on historical facts and the real life accounts of an American Army intelligence agent. In Operation King Cobra, American covert operative Jonathan Preston and his team of two Special Operation Executive (SOE) agents execute highly skilled and dangerous missions in their quest to drive back the Japanese in Asia during World War II. The trio wreaks havoc on Japanese supply lines, foils sabotage and assassination attempts by Japanese agents, frees allied prisoners of war and begins shutting down the secret biological and chemical warfare programs of the Japanese Army's infamous Unit 731. After nearly a year of solid success, a top Japanese hit team is now after the Cobra trio. When the two teams collide, there is only one outcome: death.
